Stick to What’s Easy and Effective
Two small hacks to improved longevity.
I like to find things (hacks?) that have a high efficacy and are easy to fit into my day. Here are a couple:
Crossing your legs when seated is beneficial to hip health. And a good indicator of healthy longevity is being able to stand up from a crossed leg position without using your hands. So I try this whenever I’m seated on the floor. It gives me a few bonus reps everyday.
Down regulating after a workout. Set a five minute timer on your phone. Lie down. Close your eyes and cover them. Breath in through your nose and out your mouth until your timer goes off. This simple moves help to let your workout soak in by calming your nervous system before walking out of the gym.
